They tend to occur in young men after puberty when other cancers are rare, so in that age group they are among the most common cancers. The testicular tumors that Stevens found in 129 mice were also often malignant and could be maintained indefinitely by retransplantation to successive male ...

In this chapter, we will discuss the role of vitamin D in cancer. 2. Genetic factors related to vitamin D and cancer 2.1. The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II molecules The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules play an important role in the immune system ...
The breast is a hormone-responsive organpar excellence. Its development is influenced by a myriad of hormones and growth factors whose stimulus selectively elicits a response consisting of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, or cell death (apoptosis) [1–11]. In either case, the response of ...

The quantity and quality of hair are closely related to the nutritional state of an individual. In instances of protein and calorie malnutrition, deficiency of essential amino acids, of trace elements, and of vitamins, hair growth and pigmentation may be
Oxidation-reduction reactions are widespread in biological systems and are basic to life processes and cellular metabolism. Nicotinamide-nucleotide-linked electron transport is generally part of a complex chain or array of carriers linked both structural
The ongoing mobilization of mammalian transposable elements (TEs) contributes to natural genetic variation. To survey the epigenetic control and expression of reporter genes inserted by L1 retrotransposition in diverse cellular and genomic contexts, we e
VEGF genes. In summary, these elements constitute the Ang-1-TEK-VEGF signaling pathway. Additionally, Ang-1 is activated under hypoxic and inflammatory conditions, leading to an upregulation in the expression of TEK. Elevated TEK levels result in the formation of the VEGF-ETS complex, which, ...
LIM domain containing proteins are important regulators of diverse cellular processes, and play pivotal roles in regulating the actin cytoskeleton. Lipoma
